g IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-WIRING-ER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all tchcm it may concern i Be it known that I, PETER FALARDO, of Danbury, in the county of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut,

have invented'anew Improvement in Glothes-Wringer;

and I-do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,v and the letters of reference marked thereon, tobe a full, clear,

and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and rep-` resent, in

Figure 1, a side view;

Figure 2,a top view; and in Figure 3, a vertical centrali section.

In the common clothes-wringer it is diicult to spread the articles to be passed-through the wringer, so that there will not ,befmore or less unevenness in passingh'between the rolls, which causes a great strain upon the articles being operated upon.- n

The object of" this invention is to overcome these diiiculties, and consistsin combining with the rolls of a clothes-wringer, an endless apron, passing between the said rolls, upon which the articles to be wrung may be spread, or. evenly folded.

Io enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my improvement, I will fully describe the same, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

A isthe lower, and B, the upper roll of'` a clotheswringer, arranged with pressure-springs U, and an adj usting-screw, D, in the-usual manner:

Upon the frame, below the rolls, at a point, a, higher or lower, as the case may be, I hinge a pair of arms, E, carrying in their upper ends a cylindergif, as seen in iig. 3.

v Around the cylinder F, and lextending over the lower roll A, I place an endless apron', H.

The arms E are supported by segments I, .as seen in lig. 1, and the apron, at its two edges, as seen in iig.. 2, isprovided with a ridge, which serves as a con` ductor, as hereafter shown. l

lVhen vdesired for use, the arms, with the cylinder F, are thrown out, as seen inthe drawings, until the apron is drawn taut, and there secured by set-screws L on the segments, or' by an equivalent device. e

Theartieles to be tv rnng are' then spread upon the apron, andthe cylinder A, caused io revolve in the usual manner, draws lthe apron withthe article thereon between the two rolls, expressing the water, which passes back on to the apron, and that beingr inclined, n as'seen infg. 3, leads the water back from the rolls. g

The edges d, serving as a conductor, lead the water back, to fall from oii' the apron into the tub or receptacle below.

It will thus be seen that the aprontorms, as it were, a Ytable upon wheh'to spread the articlesto be wrung,

and the operator is enabled to thus spread the articles while turning the crank, and by being thus spread and conducted into the rolls, the articles are less liableto injury from uneven pressure than in ordinary wring@ ing-machines.

Having fully described my invent-ion, o I What I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with the rolls A and B of a wringing-machine, the -endless, apronv'H, constructed with edges d, and arranged upon the adjustable cylinder F, substantially in Vthe manner and for the lpurpose set forth'.

PETER FALARDO.
